Hidden Books of the Ethiopian Bible: A Guide to the Wider Canon. A Reader’s Guide to Enoch, Jubilees, Meqabyan, Baruch, the Ethiopic Didascalia of Church Order and Worship, and Other Rare Ethiopian Scriptures

Have you ever wondered not only what extra books are in the Ethiopian Bible—but also how they actually shaped real church life, worship, and ethics for centuries?

And what it would look like to let that wider canon challenge the way Christians live and pray today?

Hidden Books of the Ethiopian Bible: A Guide to the Wider Canon does more than list “lost books. It walks you through Enoch, Jubilees, Meqabyan, Baruch, Adam and Eve, psalms and apocalypses.

In this book, you’ll discover:

A clear map of the Ethiopian canon • How the Orthodox Tewahedo Church came to receive a wider set of Scriptures—including Enoch, Jubilees, three Books of Meqabyan, expanded Baruch and Esdras, extra psalms and apocalypses—and how this canon differs from Western Bibles.

Fresh introductions to the major “hidden books”

• Enoch’s Watchers and heavenly visions, Jubilees’ sacred calendar and rewritten Genesis, Meqabyan’s stories of resistance to idolatry, Baruch and Esdras’ deep wrestling with exile and injustice, the Books of Adam and Eve, the Psalms of Solomon, and other rare texts preserved in Ethiopia • Many books and audiobooks repackage Enoch, Jubilees and a few apocrypha as mysterious secrets. This one goes further, showing how those texts actually function inside • the Ethiopian Bible and how, together with the Didascalia, they shape liturgy, ethics, and concrete church order. • If you don’t just want to collect • lost books, but actually want to see how a wider canon can form a different kind of Christian life, Hidden Books of the Ethiopian Bible: A Guide to the Wider Canon • will take you all the way from ancient manuscripts and apocrypha to liturgy, leadership, and everyday discipleship.
